Weed it and reap

Three GoodGym members from across London came together to tidy up Ms S’s garden before her house move next week. The weather was perfect for gardening - sunny, warm with a light breeze.

Karen, Catriona and Debra cycled to the house in Putney. Karen and Catriona had already completed a mission in the morning tackling another more challenging garden.

Ms S was very friendly and welcomed us giving us clear instructions on what she wanted us to focus on, providing us with tools for the job. She wanted a general tidy up at the front and back of the house, so we set to work cutting back rose bushes, dead plants and pulling up weeds. There was a lovely smell of herbs in the back garden.

It’s clear Ms S was a keen gardener as the garden was in very good shape, but she couldn’t do it herself as she had broken her ankle and injured her back falling down some stairs.

We quickly made a start in a few key areas of the garden and in just over an hour and twenty minutes we had completed the task. Ms S thanked us for our help and seemed very pleased with what we had achieved.

Mission accomplished!
